the representation of the storage device capacity in Windows
is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in the
capacity calculation.
(E.g. For an 80GB storage device, the capacity is represented as
74.5GB by the operating system. 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/
(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte=74.505GB)
Windows may also display a smaller hard disk capacity due
to some hidden functions or software programs such as the
Recovery program.

About Memory Capacity Representation

The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual
capacity of memory.
This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory
or claims it for further use.
(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report
the capacity as 1,022MB or less)

Battery Usage Time Information

A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long
time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is
reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing
a new battery.
When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after
charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery life
